Counter Reformation — Restaurant in Palm Springs

I absolutely loved this place. Simply put, the best wine bar I have ever been to, and one of my favourite restaurants ever. I love how it's hard to find in the hotel, and the reward when you discover the door! It's an intimate space with just 20 seats and it's such a great room. The two amazing sisters who ran the show on the evening I was there were the two best hosts you could find. They were both so knowledgeable about the wines and how they would pair with selected dishes, all while accommodating and organizing everyone who arrived to wait for a table. They were friendly, gracious, and so helpful offering advice on the menus. The wines themselves were unique, and It's great how they are at the same price point.

If you're looking for a restaurant with a sit down table experience, this is not the place for you as it's bar seating only. This didn't bother me much, but just something to be aware of!

The food itself was ok. The Jamon was the real winner of everything we tried, which was a bit sad as it's the only thing not prepared by staff.

The wines are beautiful, which i do believe is the real winner here!

The vibe is very sweet, and the music was amazing - so there's that. It's a...

What a night!

Last night we attended a fantastic wine tasting hosted by Palm Springs Life magazine, with the amazing Liz Utley as our hostess. The event took place at the Parker Hotel in the fabulous Counter Reformation, and it was truly a hidden gem we’re so glad to have discovered!

We enjoyed a wonderful selection of wines paired with delicious small bites, each beautifully crafted for the evening. A special shoutout to Edith, the incredible mixologist who guided us through the pairings like a true pro — her recommendations were spot on!

As locals, we’re thrilled to have found this spot and can’t wait to go back. Thank you to everyone who made the evening so memorable — we’re already looking forward to returning! 🍷✨
